The Earth has a radius of 6,400 kilometers. A satellite orbits the Earth at a distance of 12,800 kilometers from the center of the Earth. If the weight of the satellite on Earth is 100 kilonewtons, the gravitational force on the satellite in orbit is?It would be great if you could add a few words of explanation.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: By using a universal gravitational force, we can get that $F_(g) = (G. m_(1) . m_(2))/( r^(2) )$ .

For note : r is a distance from center of the earth to the object.

Then, if $r_(1)$ is 6.400 km, and if $r_(2)$ is 12.800 km,
we can say that $r_(2)$ is $2r_(1)$

In first equation we can say that :
$F_(g) = (G.m_(1) m_(2) )/( r_(1)^(2) ) = 100.000 N$

then in second equation we can say that :
$F_(g) = (G.m_(1) m_(2) )/( r_(2)^(2) )$ ,
$F_(g) = (G.m_(1) m_(2) )/( (2r_(1))^(2) )$ (because $r_(2)$ is $2r_(1)$ )
$F_(g) = (G.m_(1) m_(2) )/( 4r_(1)^(2) )$ ,
we can say that : $F_(g) = (1)/(4) (G.m_(1) m_(2) )/( r_(1)^(2) )$
so, by plugging first equation into second equation, we can get
$F_(g) = (1)/(4) (G.m_(1) m_(2) )/( r_(1)^(2) ) = (1)/(4) . 100.000 N = 25.000 N$

What happens to parallel light rays that strike a concave lens?

Answers

When parallel light rays comes across a concave lens, the rays are refracted outwards. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle part. Parallel light rays diverge and seems to appear from one point called the principal focus. The image formed is smaller.

Answer:

The light ray that pass through the lens diverge and is refracted outwards and never meets at a focal point.

Explanation:

Divergent lenses (also called concave lenses) are transparent bodies bounded by two refractory surfaces with one central axis in common. When a parallel light ray strikes a lens, it is refracted by changing its direction, this refraction in the divergent lens causes the rays to move away from the central axis, ie the ray of light passing through the lens diverges and is refracted outward. and is never at a focal point.

The eye of the Atlantic giant squid has a diameter of 3.50 × 10^2 mm. If the eyeis viewed in a concave mirror with a radius of curvature equal to the diameter
of the eye and the eye is 0.800 × 10^3 mm from the mirror, how far is the image
from the mirror? What is the size of the image? Is the image real or virtual?

Answers

Answer:

q = 224 mm, h ’= - 98 mm, real imagen

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the constructor equation

$(1)/(f) = (1)/(p) + (1)/(q)$

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

In a mirror the focal length is

f = R / 2

indicate us radius of curvature is equal to the diameter of the eye

R = 3,50 10² mm

f = 3.50 10² /2 = 1.75 10² mm

they also say that the distance to the object is p = 0.800 10³ mm

1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

1 / q = 1 / 175 - 1 /800

1 / q = 0.004464

q = 224 mm

to calculate the size let's use the magnification ratio

m = $(h')/(h) = - (q)/(p)$

h '= $- (q)/(p) \ h$

h ’= - 224 350 / 800

h ’= - 98 mm

in concave mirrors the image is real.

A wave has a speed of 23 m/s and a frequency of 13 Hz. What is the wavelength?

Answers

Answer:

1.76923077 meters

Explanation:

wavelength is denoted by the letter lambda it is equal to the speed (v) of a wave in a medium (air , water, light) divided by frequency , equals wavelength . so wavelength = v/f or = 23m/s ÷13hz
